Thanks so much for all the messages. Receiving notes from family and friends is a major highlight of my day, as I don't have to much to do right now besides stretch, sleep and hope for some more Cadbury Buttons.

I celebrated my first 4th of July a few days ago. It was very hot in New York, so my parents took me pool hopping in Manhattan. We visited two pools that were within walking distance. They weren't the fanciest pools, but it was nice to just cool off for a few minutes. I hope everyone had a nice 4th of July!
